Here is the armored axe merc, Credit to @Alusq for the original armored merc, MissKilvas on devianart for the spritesheet and me @Maiser6 for the animation: note I kept the original crit for the axe because I wanted the axe to have a different crit then the sword.dropbox.com

Good shit as always, Nura. Though I think in some way the crit animation for the melee axe could be made a little better by having the current hit transition into the regular attack animation after the sideways slash. I'm no animator though, feel free to disregard me.

thanks man xD imo that would be overkill, in terms of OAM, effort and the duration of the amination. Even if it don't exceeds the OAM limitations, I would have to let him change his stance and grip entirely. Which would require quite some work tho. Lastly it would strech the overall length/duration of the crit to a point where it might become a bother to watch it somewhat frequently.
